BOMBAY HIGH COURT INTRODUCES ONLINE PAYMENT OF COURT FEES THROUGH E-PAY

The Bombay High Court has recently introduced ONLINE PAYMENT OF COURT FEES THROUGH E-PAYMENT, Advocate/Litigant centric initiative, in co-ordination with the Government of Maharashtra and National Informatics Centre. The service will start from 1st July 2011. Presently, all the Court Fees are paid by way of impressed and adhesive Stamps. Sometimes, there is a shortage of Court Fees Stamps and Advocates/Litigants find it difficult to obtain Court Fee Stamps. This is being resolved by using an Electronic Technology to provide payment of Court Fees through e-payment. This facility will be in addition to the existing System of payment of Court Fees through Court Fee Stamps.
